Customer Reviews ASICS GT-1000 9

So happy with these. Finally I can feel a very good padding on the ball of my foot. The toe box is not too tight, I wear a 9M. I do have a wide foot but small heel. I have had Gel- Nimbus 17 and they were wonderful. When they went to Nimbus 19, that's when the toe box was too small in a 9M even tried a 9 1/2 didn't help. I run about 7 miles every Saturday and I wore these and no problem, they were great!

I Overpronate and ASIC’s shoe are my favorite for overall comfort and long lasting comfort. I was skeptical about purchasing these ASIC’s because of style and haven’t bought this model before. But these are probably one of my favorites. I hit the pavement almost daily on long walks, running, and hills and my feet are loving these ASIC’s. My feet and body don’t get tired. I can wear all day. They absorb. Like walking on a cloud. I would by these again. Actually I bought a second pair. I love them so much.

I returned the Asics gel-contend 6 due to lack of arch support and I’m so glad I went with these instead. More than worth the increase in price. Better looking, better fitting, better support.

I will be returning these. I about cried doing jumping jacks as I feel there is NO cushion in the toes and it was making my foot burn. I tried running in them and got immediate shin splints. Think I'll stick to my Nikes!

OMG soooo comfortable!! I often have trouble with shoes being too tight across the base of my toes... not these. It was like putting on a pair of socks... super comfy. Also, I had spinal fusion 10 months ago and need extra cushion as I get back to walk/jog/run. These hit the nail on the head!!

Great all around running shoes! Light weight and great support for over pronation.

Fantastic colors! I'm looking for long distance walking shoes. I found those uncomfortable in the ankle area. Wore them in the house and decided to return. I'm in everything 8.5 those in size 9 fit me perfectly. 8.5 were a little snug.

ASICS are the only shoes I buy for walking because they really fit my foot. These shoes are great looking but narrow in the toe box. They are comfortable for the majority of my walk (6 miles) but bother me on the outside of the toe box during the last mile. Thinner socks help a little bit. They seem to have less cushion than previous ASICS.

Asics used to be my go-to brand for good arch support and comfort. However, in the last year or so, it seems that the shoes are running narrow in width. Wide is too wide for me, and the medium are too narrow.

This is the second pair I ordered. Normally I wear a size 8 but they were too tight in the toes, reordered a half size larger, much better. Wore this shoes the first day and every day since on my afternoon walk (2 to 3 miles) with no problems. Good brand.

In the past, i never went running in anything but ASICS. So when I I recently started running again I knew I needed a good shoe with support for pronators. I went for my first run in these shoes and they felt great! The toe box is wider than in my prior ASICS and I will have to adjust the laces to tighten enough for comfort, but not too tight to irritate my foot. Great shoe. Also, the support for over pronation isn’t as good as other styles but I was comfortable.

Great shoe - comfortable for walking and running! I usually wear 9.5 and sometimes 9, but had to send back the 9.5 and order a 10, which I’ve never worn! The good news is that the 10 fits well. The 9.5 was just too tight in top of foot and felt like toes were all he way to front of shoe. And, of course, Zappos return and re-order was easy and efficient!

It has been a long time since I bought ASICS and I forgot that, for me anyway, I need a full size bigger to allow for toe room for the run. By the time I hit a half mile, my toes were pressing.

I stick with Asics for my walking shoes and have learned to go up a half size and expand to the wide width. I was retiring my Asics GT-2000 5, but have had difficulty finding a style/color I liked in my preferred Asics size. I ordered these and the Gel Cumulus 21. Both gave me the fit I expected, but this shoe has some kind of magic cushion inside. It's extremely comfortable, almost giving me a memory foam feel. I'm very happy and heading out the door for their first walk!

I bought this pair of shoes to replace some Hokas . I never felt the hokas had enough padding. My feel would hurt after long walks. I had some ASICS several years ago so thought I would try another pair. These feel wonderful, fit perfectly. I always order 1/2 size larger with running shoes. Couldn’t be happier, very comfortable during the 3-4 mile walks I take daily. The best part they didn’t cost me a fortune!!

I love these!!! Cute colors, palm trees and excellent arch support! I think I may buy another pair just to wear around town.

I overpronate and have flat feet. I did not feel like these shoes gave sufficient arch support for me! I am used to the aggressive arch support of birkenstocks, new balances and superfeet inserts. I returned these and I will go for the Brooks Addiciton instead.

DON'T BUY IF YOU HAVE LOW/FLAT ARCHES AND/OR OVERPRONATE!!!!! I purchased these shoes because Zappo's search function specifically stated that this shoe is good for runners who overpronate. I can barely walk in them for a mile without feeling heel and toe pain. I have room in the toe box but the toe pain is likely from not having proper arch support. I can't believe Zappos would advertise these as good stability/support running shoes. THey are cute and stylish and I love the colors but that's about it. Super bummed that I have worn them and can't exchange. I used to buy Saucony Pro Grid Omni but they don't seem to make those anymore or if they do they look like clunky old lady shoes. Such a bummer because those were the best running shoes for overpronaters like me.

Very happy

Great show. I normally wear 8.5 U.S. but ordered a 9 based on other reviews. The 9 was a bit too large but I decided to keep it. 8.5 would have been perfect, thus I’d say it runs true to size. Very comfortable. As I jogged I felt some springing action. Was able to go further than normal. My satisfaction led me to order a 2nd pair.?

This shoe is absolutely nice. The colors are pretty but I sent them back and ordered a darker color because the colors were too bright and they will get dirty and it would show. I work out and run and at least with darker color shoes whether it rain or not it won't look so bad. I do wash my shoes but with these I would have to wash them often.

These are perfect fitness shoes. Lightweight, not too narrow, goid arc support and finally a color that is “basic”. LoveLoveLove

Great running and walking shoe

Toe box felt huge. I have worn Asics consistently for many years, but this is the second pair I have had marked B width that felt huge. Not sure what has changed in their sizing process.... Will be returning this pair :(
